The Spires was born from my need to have my big old Rosac Nu Fuzz and our now discontinued Dream Crusher on my pedalboard without taking up all the space. The green channel features a cranked fuzz inspired by the Rosac Electronic Nu-Fuzz, which, for all the unacquainted fuzz seekers, was released in 1968- decades prior to the dreaded “nü” prefix ever being uttered. The original schematic for Rosac Nu Fuzz is somewhat of a mystery so I used my original to make a “sonic copy” that is pretty much dead on. It is full-on fuzz all the time and uses crude wide range tone control to change the character from big and warm to sizzling and blown out. The original was slightly below unity at max so I gave this one plenty of output volume while retaining the original tone. The Red channel is a silicon version of the now discontinued Dream Crusher. There's no need to mourn the loss anymore. Dreams will still be crushed with walls of classic two transistor fuzz, only this time the crushing will be much more stable and less temperature sensitive. It features a very usable, dynamic Fuzz control and tons of output volume, just like the original. Each Spires is hand made one at a time by a white gloved team of professional experts in the dirty, dusty canyon of Akron, Ohio.

Perhaps, but you can always come down later. It's better to start too high than too low. I find a lot of that late 60s/early 70s stuff difficult to price. Sometimes stuff can be too rare to market. If you're not seeing something every quarter, it's a pain to establish a firm price. I wanted a Gretsch Tremofect for 10+ years, and the only ones that ever became available (GBase, Yahoo auctions, eBay) were always priced around $750. I never saw a single one sell. They would just be pulled eventually. Finally I scored one for around $220, which was fair to me. I could get a tap-tempo tremolo with more features for the same price point, but I also didn't want to wait another 5-10 years for one to surface under $450. With stuff that was never championed by a famous player and wasn't produced in this country, it's a bit of a crapshoot. You just have to reach into the ether and divine a price.

I would buy it for you, but I'd prefer to get you a Buchla Music Easel and an Andromeda first. Then if those weren't enough, well tough shit.
